(+75 photos) Hair color after black

Light shades of hair 👩‍🦳 allow you to change the direction of the color without much difficulty, ✅ which cannot be said about dark ones. 👩🏻 Black paint has a very dense pigment, ⚫ which eats into the structure of the curls and it is extremely difficult to get rid of it.

When it comes to household dyes, then the task of going from black to pure blond becomes almost impossible.

Cons and pros of dyeing your hair black

It should be borne in mind that ash black hair mostly suits young women and suggests healthy, well-groomed skin, since the black color, like a frame, emphasizes skin imperfections and a bad complexion. In addition, black color will suit those whose natural color type of appearance obliges dark hair shades. The older the woman, the lighter the hair is required to emphasize the youthfulness of the face.

Black often looks flat due to the high density of pigments and because it has no variations in shades, along with blond and chestnut-blond-red palette.

However, brunettes have their own advantages - incredible hair shine if the hair is healthy and well-groomed. The magic of shine and shine, perfectly conveys hair styling with curls, especially if a babyliss curling iron was used to create curls or an iron to straighten hair - it is then that the magical mirror shine of black hair amazes with its beauty.

If black hair is dyed repeatedly with household dye from the masses of the market, for example, popular dyes: Garnier, Palette, Syoss and others in a chestnut-chocolate palette, over time, the color at the ends and along the length gradually turns black. This situation occurs due to the constant build-up of pigment during re-staining, and it becomes more difficult to remove it over time.

Plus, non-professional dyes are designed for various types of hair, for example, with gray hair, which is why they are made very intensely pigmented and saturated.

Dyes from the professional line are another matter. Just as buying a professional line shampoo and balm means solving a specific problem and a problem for the hair, so a professional dye contains less pigment so that the master himself can individually make up the proportions when dyeing.

Moving from Black to Blonde: Tips and Tricks from the Experts

It will not work to return the natural hair color after dyeing it black, but you can bring it closer to the shade of the natural one by washing off the black color and then dyeing it into light brown hair. A special acid wash, which is produced as a cosmetic product by many famous brands of hair cosmetics, in order to perform a procedure with it at home or in a beauty salon in the hands of an experienced colorist, will accelerate the way out of black hair and bring you closer to the desired result.

Color wash: How to do it right and is it worth it?

Today it is a fairly effective and widespread procedure that allows you to get out of black color gradually and more carefully than bleaching black hair.At the same time, you should not think that after washing you will instantly become light brown. The result of the wash is red and chestnut tones, which are subsequently corrected by additional coloring or, at the second stage, the hair is bleached with subsequent toning.

Acid wash is a procedure that removes, thanks to acids, cosmetic pigment from the hair cuticle, but not completely.

With the help of acids, the bonds in the color molecule are destroyed, then they are removed with a shampoo with a high degree of alkali and hot water. When the hair is too clogged with pigment, and you need to get out of black hair with an acid wash, you will need more than one procedure. For safety reasons, it is worth remembering that we apply the acid wash only on regrown hair and do not affect the scalp. In order to carry out the procedure at home, several stages should be performed.

Removing the color, stage one - removing pigment from the hair cuticle

1. Prepare a plastic dye bowl and rubber gloves;
2. Mix the reducing emulsion and catalyst in a 1 to 1 ratio in a container;
3. Apply the mixture to the hair, stepping back 1 cm from the roots;
4. Put on a polyethylene hat on top and wrap your hair with a towel, additionally warming up and creating a thermal effect;
5. Soak the mixture on your hair for 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly for five minutes under hot water;
6. Then you will need a professional deep cleansing shampoo. Be sure to rinse your hair with a deep cleaning shampoo, ordinary shampoo is not suitable for these purposes;
7. The procedure of washing with shampoo with hot water should be repeated five times, rinsing hair well;
8. Do not keep the emulsion for more than 20 minutes. The action of acids on the destruction of pigment ceases within 20 minutes.

Washing off the color stage two - neutralizing the pigment

Since after washing you will tint your hair, you should neutralize the reducing agent that was used in the first stage of pigment removal. If this is not done, the reducing agent will destroy the molecular pigments of the new color. If after the first washing step your hair still looks black, you should repeat the washing procedure after 2-4 weeks.

In the meantime, during this intermediate period, actively care for and restore your hair, the best hair masks from the professional series will help you with this. Take a look at the keratin and argan oil formulas.

Going from black to blond

Coming from black to white hair is one of the hardest things to do for a colorist. It will not work to become a blonde at a time and you need to be ready for several sessions with breaks in hair restoration in between. Unfortunately, you cannot do without harm to your hair, but even here you can minimize this harm if you carry out thorough, therapeutic and restorative care for bleached hair.

There are two ways that women with black hair can become blonde.

First Is a wash of color with acids and subsequent lightening of hair, and second - directly lightening black hair with powder in several stages. It is worth assessing all the risks, because before becoming a blonde from a brunette, your hair will noticeably lose health and beauty. By removing the black color, the remover also dries the cuticle, and discoloration simply destroys it.

How to bleach black, dyed hair?

In order to become a blonde, curls previously painted in black, you should better turn to a competent colorist. The master will ask you about the history of staining and draw the appropriate conclusions. He will individually and competently select the dye and proportions, but most importantly, he will develop your personal hair restoration scheme, help you choose home care for bleached hair, which is very important not only to be a blonde, but also to have beautiful hair after all the post-treatment manipulations. from dark shades.

If you nevertheless decide to carry out the procedure at home, stock up on knowledge and patience.

1. To begin with, it is worth purchasing special professional products for lightening and dyeing hair, you should not run to the nearest mass market and save on inexpensive funds. You will need a professional brightening powder for 7-8 tones, an oxidizer, gloves, a bowl for dyeing, hair clips, and you also need to buy a professional hairdryer to warm your hair and enhance the brightening reaction. Subsequently, such a hairdryer will come in handy for caring for your injured hair.

2. When lightening black, previously colored hair, the hair lightening procedure is carried out in several stages. The first stage is a bleaching mixture diluted with 3 - 6% oxide, applied to the length of the hair, stepping back from the roots by a few cm. We keep it for 30 minutes or more according to the result, then at the end we apply the mixture to the roots for just a few minutes.

3. The lightening result is a 4-5-6 tone level with a reddish lightening background, we tint it with the selected shade to eliminate and neutralize redheads, then leave the hair alone to recover for at least two weeks or more (about a month and a half). During this period, you need to carefully care for your hair, giving it nutrition and moisture. To maintain the color, you can use toning shampoos and dyes without ammonia.

4. The second stage of lightening involves re-bleaching the hair, often in which you can go into blond at 8-9 levels, followed by toning. Sometimes, depending on the result of previous hair coloring and the degree of accumulation of black pigment, a third stage of hair lightening will be required naturally at intervals of one month for hair restoration.

5. After all the manipulations with the hair have been carried out, to remove the black pigment with the help of powder, they need deep treatment and reconstruction. Is it worth mentioning that toning in the desired shade is simply necessary to fill the voids in the hair cuticle and give them a beautiful light shade.

Coming out of black highlights

Despite all of the above methods for getting from black to light, you can use the third method, which is quite gentle compared to full lightening. Coloring and highlighting black hair will give it a lighter and more varied shade, allowing the hair to look more versatile and voluminous. If you just want to give your hair glare and lighten it by several tones - the most gentle coloring in this case will be highlighting on foil only one or two or three tones lighter than the original hair color. Another method is a preliminary acid wash of black hair, followed by highlighting and coloring the hair.

Well, the most aggressive, but the most lightening method will be the choice in favor of preliminary bleaching and subsequent highlighting of hair with breaks for restoration.

Getting out of black hair using various coloring schemes

Colorists have developed many methods of dyeing today that allow you to change the black hair color or make it more varied in a shorter time.

• Stretching color on black hair. For these purposes, you need to make a light, gentle discoloration of a part of the hair, retreating from the roots by 10-20 cm, depending on your wishes. You can only lighten the tips, which will make the black look not so flat. Then the lightened part of the hair should be tinted in the chosen range - it can be both natural, natural shades, and bold creative colors by type - light green, fuchsia, pink, blue, lilac, purple, eggplant, ash blond and others.
• Lightening the front strands. Such an easy and simple option will make your face fresher, and the image more interesting and playful.

Way out of black - growing natural hair

Many brunettes are thinking about how easy it is to grow black dyed hair and look natural and not vulgar at the same time, who is this method suitable for:

• If any manipulations to change the black hair color by washing, lightening and toning are not for you;
• If your hair is fragile, brittle and sore - that is, it simply cannot withstand numerous washes and coloring manipulations;
• If your hair is naturally dark;
• If you do not have a competent colorist and suitable remedies for getting out of black hair.

In order to comfortably get out of black hair simply by growing it, you should remember that you may encounter some ugly nuances, for example, light regrown roots that look just ugly. For these purposes, toning sprays for hair roots are suitable. If your hair is naturally dark, then you can safely grow it without encountering a significant difference between dyed and natural curls. To smooth out a slight difference, you can use harmless tinting colors in the form of masks and shampoos to give them a uniform tone.

As natural dyes, you can take a closer look at the popular basma and henna (but remember that after such dyes, it is very difficult to use non-natural dyes - you can get green and other unwanted results).

Repainting at home

You can wash off black paint and repaint at home using lightening powders, natural and professional products.

Chocolate tone

To get a chocolate shade out of black, in case of recent staining, lightening homemade masks and wraps are suitable. A vegetable oil mask is an effective tool for removing black pigments. It also dissolves basma or henna based paints.

To prepare it you will need:

• Castor oil - 15 ml.
• Burdock oil (olive) - 15 ml.

Sequencing:

1. It is necessary to heat castor and burdock oil in a water bath to 45 ° C, distribute it over the hair and wrap the head with a film.
2. The mask should be kept for 6-8 hours, then washed off from the hair using shampoo.
3. To enhance the brightening effect, the head is wrapped in a towel. In 6-8 applications, the hair will become lighter by 1-2 tones.

Honey wrap - removes the dye from the hair, restores its structure, and prevents hair loss.

To wrap you will need:

• Uncrystallized honey - 2-3 tbsp. l.
• Shower cap - 1 pc.

For the clarification procedure:

1. Apply liquid honey evenly over the entire length of the hair.
2. Then you need to collect your hair in a bun, put a shower cap on your head.
3. Honey should be washed off with warm water after 6-8 hours.
4. This mask will not only brighten your hair, but also give it density, shine and silkiness.

Step-by-step toning will help to get a chocolate shade. To do this, the hair must be dyed with a lighter shade of permanent paint than the original one for several months. If the hair has been dyed black for a long time, an acid-based paint remover will help to lighten the shade by 2 tones.

If, after washing, staining is required, the paint is chosen a tone lighter so that the black pigment does not return. Very light colors of paint should be abandoned. From them, the hair can go into a reddish.

In light brown color

When going from black to light brown, home remedies won't help. Here you will need to bleach hair in 2-3 approaches, with a break of 3-4 weeks between procedures. For clarification, a powder with a low percentage of oxidizing agent is used.

In the intervals between lightenings, the hair must be treated, preparing it for the next stage. For the final dyeing in light brown color, bleached hair should be free of yellowness.

Experts, in order to avoid unnecessary shades, add a color corrector to the dye composition. The green tint is removed with a scarlet mixton, yellowness with purple. When dyeing at home from black to light brown, the hair is badly burned out and it will take 3-4 months of intensive care to restore their health.

Blond without reddishness and yellowness

Only lightening with the help of powder (Blondoran) will help to transform from a brunette to a blonde.When switching to blond, you will need a set of procedures, after which the health of the hair deteriorates sharply even with salon dyeing.

With home dyeing, going out of black in 1 day can lead to severe hair damage and even hair loss. It is not recommended to do it yourself.

Before the procedure, the hair must be prepared. Weak, thinned and dry hair should not be lightened; first, you need to restore their health. A week before staining, the head is washed with shampoos that wash out pigments well.

Lighting stages in the salon:

1. A master, to achieve his own color, can offer a hair wash, and only then use a lightening mixture. Powder is applied to the strands at least 2 times. To reduce the damage done to hair and avoid yellowness, the mixture is diluted with a low percentage of oxidizing agent (1.9%) and left for a longer time. The brightening composition reveals the hair scales, penetrates inside and burns out the pigment. To enhance the effect of discoloration, the curls are laid in foil.
2. After washing, the clarifier is reapplied, the percentage of the oxidizing agent is reduced. A low percentage is considered to be an oxidizing agent content from 3% to 1.3%.
3. The last stage of staining is the application of a tinting or coloring composition, this is a mandatory procedure after lightening. In order for the hair to become less brittle, the scales opened on them must be filled with dye and closed.

After the final dyeing, the hair is restored with professional means:

• Silicone oil, argan oil.
• Revitalizing, vitamin, nourishing masks.

Within 2-3 weeks after the procedure, dyed hair should not be styled using the hot method - dry with hot air from a hairdryer, model the hairstyle with an iron.

Exit from black through shatush, balayazh, highlighting

Fashionable lightening techniques allow you to go blonde in several stages of dyeing without burning your hair. With this method, not the entire mass of hair is lightened, but individual strands or their ends, which are then tinted.

• Shatush - a smooth transition from dark roots to light tips.
• Ombre - complete coloring of the ends with the effect of curls burnt out in the sun.
• Balayazh - several shades of paint are applied in broad strokes to the hair. The strands are not covered with foil or film. The transitions between shades are barely noticeable or stand out on purpose. The paint is applied in the form of the letter W or T. The coloring is suitable for both straight and wavy curls.

With these highlighting techniques, the transition from dark to light hair looks natural.

Acidic hair remover

An acidic remover will NOT brighten, remove or clean out pigment. She transforms him. At the same time, it does not affect the NATURAL BASE in ANY way.

Use an acid wash STRICTLY according to the manufacturer's instructions. NO hairdresser will tell you how to make it better.

But there are some points.

• Have you ever faced the fact that after an acidic wash your hair darkens? This is due to the fact that the wash is not completed to the end. Ideally, you should apply the wash 3-4 times (no more than the instructions say). After - on one strand, you can apply one oxide and you will see everything. If the strand darkens, then the wash is not completely completed.
• There is one important point. If your hair was once lightened up to level 10, and then painted over with 7/44, for example, or 7/23, etc., then the paint converts all the molecules to 10 background lightening.
• This is due to the fact that the hair is empty and the pigments simply had nothing to cling to.
• But if you always painted on the seventh level at the seventh, then the COP converts the pigments and shows you a clean background of lightening.

LIFEHACK

If you are going to decapitate and lighten blonde hair, then you can first do an acidic wash, it will show you all the spots and streaks in your hair. And only then you can start pickling.

• Second point. The ACID wash reaction must be completed. And our acid is neutralized with alkali. That is why we take deep cleaning shampoo and wash our hair with it many times.
• After - we complete the reaction with light pickling and then proceed to clarification, if required.
• If you see that the hair cannot be categorically lightened, then we rinse the hair with deep cleaning shampoo and proceed to dyeing on dry hair.
• We take the color for dyeing 2 tones LIGHTER than desired and the oxidizing agent higher than desired. Because the hair will go into darkening a little. If you need a 7.1 color, take 8.1. If you need an oxidizing agent of 3%, we take 6%.

American shampoo

After the acid wash, an American shampoo is applied. American Shampoo is a special blend recipe. It includes 3% oxide, supra, water and deep cleansing shampoo. All this is taken in equal proportions. The main thing is that the water is not from the tap, it must be clean, filtered water.

The exposure time for American shampoo is from 1 to 20 minutes. It can be applied up to 3 times. Rinse hair with plenty of water between applications.

At the end, when you have achieved the desired background, rinse your hair well with deep cleansing shampoo and apply a nourishing mask.

Alkaline remover

In the composition of mixtures bleaching components, reaction stabilizers and activators. Thanks to these components, a thermal effect is created inside the hair that destroys the color pigments. Such discoloration is not recommended for scalp diseases and damaged curls.

An alkaline wash is an aggressive procedure, therefore, it is unacceptable to re-bleach earlier than a week later. Another feature is that the mixture must first be applied to the ends, then to the roots.
